Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa

In the Santa Ana Pueblo, which is on the edge of the town of Bernalillo about twenty miles north of Albuquerque, this cushy resort is situated on 500 acres --- there's nothing like it elsewhere in the state. The spacious rooms with deluxe pillowtop beds and, in many cases, balconies, have been decorated with natural materials such as Native American-inspired tapestries and natural stone. Some rooms face the spectacular Sandia Mountains, while others look at cottonwood trees or the outstanding golf course next door. This is a great family resort, with cultural activities led by the Santa Ana tribal members on staff; you might give tribal dance or pottery-making a try, for instance. Adding to the kid-friendly factor are babysitting services, storytelling and a trio of pools (one with a waterslide). Other amenities include stables offering horseback rides; a first-rate spa providing wonderful facials, massages and other treatments; and Corn Maiden restaurant turning out decadent, globally inspired fare. In the evening, relax on the patio with a pomegranate mojito and watch the sunset. The meeting areas are top-notch and extensive, and a complimentary shuttle transports guests to Santa Ana Star Casino, which is a short drive away.
